1898. American Forces are converging on the city of Santiago de Cuba in an effort to bring a victorious conclusion to the Spanish-American War. The terrain is brutal and disease and lack of supplies could force a retreat. A swift attack is needed. The Spanish are ready, though, with prepared positions with cannons, entrenchments, and blockhouses to repel the upstart Americans. The stage is set.

The "Siege of Santiago" is a low-to-moderate complex game covering the American attempt to end the Spanish-American War in 1898. The game takes about 90 minutes to play. One player commands the American forces and the other player commands the Spanish forces. Cards vary game play. 

MUSEUM EDITION ALSO AVAILABLE - a new folio version which features a paper map (instead of canvas). This game is otherwise the same as boxed and folio editions.
